I've been reading Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks. What a ride! I've never read Consider Phlebas before, and only a couple of the other books in the Culture series. But after finishing The Expanse recently, I've decided it's time to read the entire Culture series from the beginning. My Kindle says I'm 40% in(250 pages), and I love it! It's quite a different beast, coming from The Expanse, but every bit as intense, in its own way. I remember reading (on Reddit) that it's a good idea to start with the second or third book because Consider Phlebas is kinda slow in comparison. If that's the case, those book are going to be wild!
I have been really loving Matt Ruff's books this year. I started with 88 Names. Then I read Lovecraft Country - then I moved onto it's sequel The Destroyer of Worlds. Loved all of them, so now I moved on to Bad Monkeys.
I've got Lovecraft Country and Bad Monkeys in my to-read stack ๐
